zoltan what I would do is take the 1:48 scale and print 1/2 of each bulkhead and the profile piece then cut them out of cardboard and set up as a 1/2 hull to check and make sure the hull looks ok. If it looks good them go ahead with a larger scale. you never know if something went wrong along the way.

notice the last bulkhead #24 is solid to the upper deck that is because we still need to profile out the stern and draw the pieces like you did here we need the #2
next I will trace the original and send that to Joe this way both of us can design and draw and you get the job of building the prototype and building the build log
I get a higher education in solidworks and cad from joe
joe get to learn how the design a wooden ship kit
and you get the 1st original prototype
everyone else gets to watch
is it a deal?

Awesome Dave ,thank you very much,so I print out the 1/48 scale plan and use cardboard or maybe poly foam to build a dummy hull and see how it will looks like.

as I develope the drawings I finished the stern tracing.
The red line is the centerline and each side is worked off the center. The top molding was traced on the left side then mirrored to the right side. Notice how far off the right side original drawing is. Then down in the lower right corner the tracing is right on but when mirrored to the left side is it way off. Same goes for the windows, the right side was traced and mirrored to the left and the angles are off.
Original ship drawings are not what we think of as architectural drawings to build from they are artists renditions of what the ship looked like.
the final CAD drafted modeling plans will be correct

Hello Joe and Dave ,I went to Staples and printed the Ontario keel and bulkhead,but for some reason the pdf version came out withe vector points printed too,they had to convert it to jpg and it was fine than,whats the reason for this?
when you save something as a PDF in a cad program it is still a cad file. thus you can open a PDF drawn in this way in a cad program and have it as a cad file again.
Depending on the software they used it may have opened it as a vector file ie cad file. What I like to do is to save my PDF as a PNG file when i take it to print and then use the PNG to make a pdf file. this way their software only sees an image file and not a vector file
Always save as PNG not JPG
JPG is a low res photo file and is used where you need small image sizes
TIFF Files are high res image files and generally larger file sizes
PNG is extremely high quality and has a small file size.

Ok ,so convert my current pdf file to png and back to pdf before printing?
correct
that way the file they get is only an image file

Ok,thanks,also can you please send me a copy in 1/32 scale ,hopefully fitts on their largest printing sheets or better to have them on two sheets?
some printing places use software like Corel Draw, or Adobe Illustrator to open image files for print thus when they open the PDF it opens as a vector
ok what is the total ship length in 1/32 or did you already scale them
Dave did,30 inch
first is 1/4 scale 20 inch hull
second 3/8 scale 30 inch hull
third 1/2 inch scale 40 inch hull
first is 1/4 scale 20 inch hull
second 3/8 scale 30 inch hull
third 1/2 inch scale 40 inch hull
Do you need the 1/32 scale copy from him?
yes I was just looking all the ontario stuff you sent me was lost in the crash couple weeks ago
I have the 1/48 pdf,can you upscale it?I just email it back to you.
yes I can rescale it
I just sent the files back to you by email.
